Bob Stupak inspecting his bronze statue and touring parts of the Stratosphere Tower (part 1): video, 1996 April 11

This video shows Bob Stupak conversing among staffers with Phyllis McGuire. Most of the first 8 minutes of video has Stupak bantering about cell-phones. @8:24 into video Stupak is seen traversing through the unfinished sections of The Stratosphere; @9:09 the Wall of Names is shown; where Stupak claims there are 30 thousand names of financial contributors to the construction of The Stratosphere from shareholders and various club memberships originated by Stupak; @22:03 Stupak, in the company of others, walks into the unfinished section of The Stratosphere's unfinished casino floor; @24:50 Stupak is face-to-face with his bronze statue, where he has issues about the tone of the statue, as Stupak expected it to be gleaming gold. That issue is discussed with an unnamed mustached individual that may have been the designer/sculpter of the statue. There is audio dropout between 26:51 to 27:08. Original media MiniDV, color, aspect ratio 4 x 3, frame size 720 x 486.
